**Appearance:** Amber, like an ale or apple juice. **Nose:** alcohol, varnish, only the slightest sweetness of corn. **Palate:** what I’d image baseball bats taste like if puréed into a smoothie. Sharp pine tar, wood, no sweetness. **Finish:** acid spice. Saved by its shortness. **Overall:** I had some of this at a bar and enjoyed it, so I bought a bottle. Now I’m thinking they poured me something different. I can see why the wax cap on this bottle was so hard to open. It was a defense mechanism. Now I have to hope my sink gets clogged so I have a use for this. I don’t like wasting.
